CATSKILL MOUNTAINS

A UNIQUE COUNTRY WEDDING DESTINATION

This is a very different and enchanting setting for a distinctive wedding. Verdant forests, misty mountains, swiftly moving streams, meandering creeks and waterfalls create a beautiful scenic landscape for the ideas you have for your event.

​Say hello to the newly rediscovered Catskills (your great- grandparents probably came here!) where you and your guests will join artists, writers and naturalists who draw inspiration from its tranquil forests and magical high peaks.

The Catskills are well known in American culture, both as the milieu for many 19th-century Hudson River School paintings and as the favored destination for urban vacationers from NY city in the mid-20th century. (Think Baby in Dirty Dancing!)
